Sony - LinkBuds Fit

The Elite 8 Active 2s have a lot of issues. I had to file a warranty repair for them. They sent me a brand new pair but I sold it on eBay. This is despite the fact that the sound quality was exceptional and the wear comfort was unparalleled. For the list that you provided all options are great though I will give the edge to the LinkBuds. Also look into the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro. The sound quality is 2nd to none and it does very well at the gym. The only issue with it is the case imo… it is a space helmet design which I’m still kinda getting used to and it is on the bigger side. All else I’m very satisfied with them.

Well, I’ve bought a pair of Linkbuds Fit for my girlfriend (she has relatively small ears, not miniature, just on the smaller side for a woman, not sure how they’d compare to yours😅), and unfortunately she complains of ‘ear pain’ after about an hour of use. I tried them multiple times myself (my ears are on the smaller side for a man) and they’re awesome, never had a problem with them being painful after prolonged use (a problem I experienced with my APP), the sound is respectable (not APP2 level, of course), and they stay in the ear really well! Oh, and the gestures are nice, I find them particularly useful when riding my bike as you don’t have to search for the button like on the APP, you can just tap your whole ear with your palm/finger if you want. If the APP2 fit you in general just don’t stay in your ear, I’d say the Linkbuds Fit might be an option for you. Just don’t forget to enable Bluetooth headset priority when taking/making calls in Accessibility settings on your iPhone, otherwise you’ll have to manually select your earphones everytime, since they’re not a ‘native apple product’. Good luck! Edit: grammar

No worries😁 I’ve had them for a couple of months only. Correct me if i’m wrong but i think they were released mid-november 2024. I mean the hooks are hollow inside, they are made of a soft material (think silicone/rubber), so they’re soft and adapt to the shape of the ear. Imagine a miniature balloon with walls thick enough to support its shape, but thin enough to be soft and adapt according to the shape of the ear. There’s air inside the hook, but they’re not air-tight, as in you cannot puncture them by accident. As far as my experience goes, i did not notice anything particularly alarming so far, they seem well-made to me. Additionally, you can buy official replacement hooks for a reasonable price (20€ i think). edit: grammar. Oh, and from the pictures online i was afraid that the case would be bigger than that of APP, but it’s actually tiny and even more pocketable than APP. It’s a tiny bit taller, but a square, so a bit shorter in width. Overall, was pleasantly impressed by the case. In this photo you can see the silicone/rubber material of the hooks i was talking about more clearly. The photo is not mine, found it online, the buds are with my girlfriend currently. https://preview.redd.it/vq6gmuqwhrfe1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9426a0f9ad8840b4f51794333bbc4a39e58e172

I upgraded a pair of cheap JBLs to Sony LinkBuds Fit and consider it money well spent.

I have Sony LinkBuds Active and Sony Edge. They both work great!

I'll join in the haters. I got these yesterday to replace some $80 Soundcore earbuds and by far prefer those ones. The mic is awful. Picks up more background noise than my actual voice. Using Krisp helps a bit. I use this with my macbook though, so the Sony app isn't here to help. I get way better sound quality using my macbook mic in a relatively quiet cafe than with these. Sound quality is nice but nothing to swoon over. Noise cancellation is constantly changing so there's a whooshing sound as it switches to match ambient noise. If you live anywhere urban this is insane - it just doesn't work. Defo taking these back.

I recently purchased the linkbud fit earbuds, and for the life of me, I can't get it to answer a call. I have unpaired it, made sure that it has the current software upgrade, and still it will click, but it won't answer. It does control my music, but it won't answer a call. Any advice?

Wow, I thought the head gestures were an option to answer or decline calls. Thanks.

I'm trying to like these, but the answer and decline are bizarre features. I placed a call yesterday and tried to end it by shaking my head to end the call. It didn't work. Am I missing something? You can only head nod/shake to answer or decline a call. What about ending a call that you initiated? Weird for me.

I found out from Sony that you can triple tap to answer and end a call. I'm happy to be able to do this now.

It's ready to go. No special settings. You just triple tap to answer or decline a call. You're welcome.

I'm sorry, I meant that you triple tap for: answer and end. I didn't ask about declining a call.

Thanks for getting back to me. I will disable the answer feature bc I feel silly nodding and shaking my head to answer or decline a received call. Lol. Have a great weekend.

Don’t get Sony linkbud fit. They didn’t even last a year with me.

Why do I have to tap 5 times to change volume? Can't configure the tap controls in the app as the default taps are fixed at: double tap to play/pause, triple tap to change track and 5 times tap to increase/decrease volume. Ridiculous and user unfriendly. Hate this earbuds.

Sony linkbuds fit only one u can sleep on and good sound quality tws

H guys i just got this but touch control awful most of time not operational and barely works Am i doing something wrong?

I figured out. It worked only on your skin over ear u need to tap and change sensivity over app from standard to high then it works perfect but so awkward i cant use bud itselfs lol. Only ur skin. Anyway

I needed them for running and causal listening. I dont usd tws for intense listening or home listening . Linkbuds fit small very comfy and stay in my ear not like xm5 or many earbuds without wingtip fall out of my ear . It just does job for me

I owned this before and now sony linkdbuds fit i'm using its damn so small and comfy wingtip flexible.. beats's wingtip was so stiff. i highly recommend you to try linkdbuds FIT sony. for exercise and daily use perfect im running with them tho

I'm having the same exact issue I got them 4 days ago as well

Thank you!!!! Just tried it works perfectly now! Wow who would know? I come from regular linkbuds s where you actually touch the buds lol . Thanks alot
